MAINE SOUTHERN COAST

Long sandy beaches and salt marsh estuaries mark the coastline from Kittery to Portland, with the occasional rocky headland punctuated by a lighthouse or two. Endless variety makes the southern Maine coast unique. History buffs can explore coastal fortifications, wander through restored colonial villages and admire turn-of-the-century homes and vacation cottages. Shoppers can indulge at outlet malls, antiques barns, and craft shops. Nature lovers can study the coastal plants, birds, and wildlife.
